The Iirstscene represents the awarding of the prizeof beaut) to Venus by Ihe youth I'aris.Fans was a son ot Mug main, tilsmother hating dreamed that she would givebirth to a firebrand. King l'naiu sought outan interpretation, which was to the effectthat the boy thus born would prove the destruction of Troy. Alarmed at this, theking had the baby carrieil to .Mount Gargartis, wheie he was left to die. He wastoiind ami cared for by a shepherd amigrew up a graceful athlete.
